Member Benefits

Legal Representation

One of the cornerstone benefits of membership is the legal representation provided to eligible members facing criminal charges for an event that occurs during the performance of his/her sworn duties.

In order to obtain legal representation, your membership must be current at the time of the incident, and you must meet the required qualifications.

Line of Duty Death Benefit

The Line-Of-Duty Death Benefit will include a lapel pin and South Carolina state flag.

The survivor(s) will receive Line-Of-Duty Death Benefits as soon after the officer’s death as possible.SCLEOA provides its members a $10,000 Line-Of-Duty Benefit.

Catastrophic Loss Fund in Honor of Ben Willoughby

The Ben Willoughby Fund is set up to provide for active SCLEOA members and their family in times of crisis. This fund was created with the realization that there are times when catastrophic injury, illness, or other occurrences may jeopardize the ability of the SCLEOA member to financially secure basic needs of food and shelter. The Ben Willoughby Fund is supported solely through the generosity of donations. The SCLEOA is able to provide $600 to members in need of assistance through this fund.

The member in need must be an active member at the time of crisis.

SCLEOA Awards Information

The Annual SCLEOA Awards Program was created to provide an opportunity for departments, individual officers and heroic citizens to be given their deserved recognition. Each award has been developed to honor the outstanding accomplishments of departments, law enforcement officers, and citizens for their efforts to perform above and beyond the call of duty.

The SCLEOA Awards Committee reviews each nomination and selects the department, officer and citizen that most exemplifies the criteria of each award.
